FIRMIN

There’s something so honest about how Firmin just wants someone to talk to. It made me think about my own calls left unanswered.

Between two monster worlds. That line stuck with me. Firmin seems lost in layers of realities, like a philosophical hallucination.

This one walks a tightrope between absurdist comedy and tragedy. 12 minutes felt like a whole dream. Or nightmare. Or both.

This style reminds me of classic French underground comics. The designs are so charmingly grotesque, and the world feels alive despite its decay.

Firmin might be the best animated depiction of a dissociative or fragmented psyche I’ve seen in a while. It’s messy, sad, surreal just like real life can be.

That pigeon subplot is genius. It’s so absurd and yet fits the madness perfectly. Kafka meets Looney Tunes

I don’t know what I just watched, but the talking lamp and that weird pigeon? Hilarious. And kinda sad at the same time.

Cool animation. It starts out immersive and enveloping, then becomes quite stirring. It touches on the fragility of consciousness, being lost in your own illusions, the lack of connection with others. And somehow, the sad ending is shown with humor and even a touch of joy. Thank you!

Firmin’s conversation with his mom was both funny and heartbreaking. It's exactly how it feels when people don’t really get what you’re going through.
